If you enjoy television, then you're a fan of Elisabeth Röhm. She has worked on some of the most iconic series and entertained viewers with her nuanced portrayals of characters for years.
On Saturday, June 29, she's taking on Jane Green's Family Pictures starring opposite Justina Machado, each one portraying a wife very wronged by their husband, but also individually flawed.
As Maggie, Röhm gets to play a well-to-do character who has taken an easy route through life thanks to her wealthy husband (played by Matt Passmore), but she's also had her head in the sand.
We had a chance to talk with Röhm about the fun she had working opposite Machado, Passmore, and kicking the trope out of her character on Family Pictures.
What did you think of the Family Picture script when you first read it?
I have to say I loved it because it was a really different departure for me.

Universal Cable Productions is developing a potential series adaptation of author-playwright William Wright's 1983 true-crime book "The Von Bulow Affair".
Ilene Rosenzweig ("Girlfriends' Guide to Divorce") is attached to pen the script which would deal with the infamous trial of British socialite Claus Von Bulow, who faced murder charges for the slaying of his millionaire wife Sunny.
Sunny remained in a coma for 27 years. Claus went on trial for attempted murder in 1982, initiating a legal circus that would last for years. A network is not yet attached with the project being shopped around to broadcast and cable networks.
"The Von Bulow Affair" would come in the wake of true crime sagas like "Serial," "The Jinx" and "Making a Murderer" which have become a part of the cultural zeitgeist in the last year or so.
